Day 16 – November 16, 2015

Today didn’t start out in a good way – nothing to do with dieting, but more so to deal with stress – that is, adding to it.

Sounds like some of my friends and family had a similar type of day. I hope everyone has a better day tomorrow.

At times it seems that I’m handing the stress well, but I have to be honest, there are moments when I swear that I’m going to explode into a giant mushroom cloud and take out everyone within 10 miles with me (which is basically all of Ithaca – 10 square miles surrounded by reality – is the saying around here).

So my biggest issue aside from losing weight is stress. So I’ll be posting a post (or two) about that soon.

I went to the grocery store for a few things and despite my foot really hurting, I walked up and down the aisles for a bit more steps today given I sat nearly all day.

I made up some chicken again for dinner, added a veggie and even drank two big glasses of water with it.

I treated myself to a foot bath with Epsom salts to make my tender tootsies feel better.

I got in 19,000 steps today.

Did laundry today and I make several trips from the laundry rom to the bedroom to put items away. For example I have sleeveless, short sleeved and long sleeved shirts. I take a trip for each group of articles even if there is only one.

I did the same thing at work today putting away about 40 boxes of shipment. One box front the front of the store to the back supply room.

I bought myself a new pair of winter walking boots/ hiker style shoes. This was my treat for myself this week.

Today was, in my hubby’s words…a ‘cluster fuck’ day. We woke up to our kitchen flooded from a broken water line under our sink….water spraying everywhere …..so my day was a write off.

I’m sure I got a lot of exercise cleaning up the mess! Lol [Hey it counts – I’m just sorry it was because of that. I hear you on house issues I’ll tell you]

Anyhow, I did however get out for a walk with the dog late this afternoon

I made a chicken stir fry with lots of veggies for supper.

I really can’t comment on my water intake today tho …(wine would have come in handy lol) Hoping for a less exciting day tomorrow.
